Olya Polyakova visited the student of the School of Superheroes at the
Cancer Institute
The important day of discharge after a long treatment became a real holiday for our student Arina.
Arina's idol, singer
Olya Polyakova, came to the Superheroes School at the Cancer Institute to support and inspire her to new
achievements.
Nelya Shovkoplias, mentor of the Zdiysny Mriyu project and TV presenter of the 1+1 Breakfast show,
helped make the
little patient's dream come true.
Unexpectedly, Olya Polyakova came to the classroom with warm hugs, gifts and, of course, songs that the
girl knew by
heart. And time stood still for a moment. The gifts included a collectible Olya Polyakova doll, tickets
to a concert,
and her phone now has a bunch of selfies to remember her by.
Before she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma of the ribs, Arina was a gymnast who also enjoyed drawing
and modelling
with clay. The full-blown war forced the family to leave Mykolaiv, first for the safety of Ukraine and
then for Poland.
From there, the family urgently returned home for treatment. Over the course of 9 months of treatment,
Arina underwent 8
blocks of rigorous chemotherapy and a rib resection to remove the tumour. In the final stage, she
received high-dose
chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant. As of today, the girl has completed her treatment.
All this time, creative classes at the educational centre of the Superheroes School gave the girl
inspiration and joy,
and teachers and educators were always on guard for a good mood.
At Superheroes School, we believe that knowledge and positive emotions can inspire dreams on a cosmic
scale. That is why
we never stop teaching our students to dream without limits and to believe in themselves. For the
disease will pass, but
the openness to the world, the curiosity, the warmth of the heart will remain forever
